Al Wedyan Central Park was meant to be the primary park for a large multi-use development in Saudi Arabia. Due to the project’s desert location we tried to limit the use of water as much as possible. We employed small channels of water as a way-finding tool that would always follow pedestrian paths. This ensured that water was always present in the experience, guiding individuals towards their next destination.

Along with the use of water programatic elements such as playgrounds, climbing walls, restaurants, and tree groves provide users with a plethora of unique experiences throughout the park. The graphics are structured as “dioramas” - diagrams that showcase the programatic variety in a playfull way.
